I don't agree.

Guessing the right direction but not applying the commensurate speed means goal.

A good penalty is only that which is scored.

Playing a feeble penalty which the keeper misses for various reasons would not even be talked about ....only because it finds its way in.

The most important part of a penalty is actually getting it between the frame of the goal.

Saka did that but was unlucky as the keeper guessed correctly.

Conversely, Rushford despite displacing the goalkeeper, couldn't get the ball within the frame of the goal, and that can be construed as a bad penalty.

Rashford's penalty was actually well struck but like you said, he was unlucky... even if Donarumma guessed right, if that ball was not striking the post, it would have still gone in.

Now Sakas penalty, it had a decent amount of power, but was very savable if a keeper guessed right and that's what happened when Donarumma guessed right. Now for a penalty that important, it needed to have been struck properly (well placed) just incase the keeper guesses right... Saka first of all has never taken a penalty in any game to give him that confidence to do so, I still feel for that penalty Grealish or Sterling should have stepped up, the pressure on that particular spot kick was too much for Saka.

Commentor:
What did Saka do wrong sef?

Should a keeper not guess right during the shootout because it is England?

You do realise that Donarumma guessed right at Harry Kanes penalty right? But Harry Kane still scored... bottom line, a well shot penalty kick is a well shot penalty kick even if the keeper guesses right

adetayoonas:
Grealish lost most penalties during training and Sterling was wise enough not to have played. If Saka didn't lost. It might have been Grealish and I know they won't throw ra cist stunts. Let us appreciate those young guys. They will come back stronger .

Saka playing for England is a good decision for him at least all his family now has a UK passport. It was an unselfish decision. Anyone could do same. He now has dual citizenship. Same thing our speaker of Nigeria have

You are right, but I just felt that pressure during the PK was too much for Saka considering the fact that at that point, the whole weight of England was on his young shoulders... honestly an older experienced player should have stepped up (I felt that tension on Saka bro)

Amotolongbo:
Rashford should have been left on the bench, while Henderson should have been given the chance to be on the field to take a kick.
Imagine taking off a matured and more experienced player when heading to a penalty shoot out for some young lads who have seen little.

A very one sided match. The Volkswagen toy car had more ball possession than England and moved a farther distance with the ball more than any English player on the pitch yesterday.

Actually Rashford and Sancho are better penalty takers than Henderson, the only issue is Southgate kept those guys for too long on the bench, which mounted so much pressure on especially Rashford, when he was literally substituted for just a penalty... Confidence is everything in a penalty shootout, and Rashford just seemed so timid even in his run up.

The real issue was Saka... Grealish, Sterling or any older experienced player should have stepped up for that one...

Normally Southgate's approach to the match itself was not even positive... it seemed he just parked the bus from the blast of the whistle

This question has been ringing in my head, the fact that she doesn't have a good record in the Bible, what other reasons people are afraid

Actually people do...
The name has more of Arabic origin, "Dalila/Dalaila" and many Arab ladies bear the name.
So it's more of wanting to be called a name with a strong Arab link.

Mheeeen... na so dwarf go carry another ballon d'or

Help family. I have a child, a 5 year old boy who grew up with his mum. We were much younger when we had the child.

Until recently, she brought my child to me, she traveled to Ghana and married. I don't have a problem with that tho. My problem is with my son. He is too gentlemanly for my like. I don't even know if gentlemanly is the right term.

Dude is too timid for my liking. He looks exactly like me and all that but his behaviors are just not what I was when I was his age. He is too timid, kind and lenient. Please what could I do to toughen him up apart of beating. I need a my child. Imagine one small boy was dragging the biscuit I bought for him and he still have the boy and still give him water. It was the strangest thing I have seen in a while. Where the hell did he get that leniency and kindness from? I was never like this

I have a colleague who lived in Japan for 9years, his first son was actually born and raised in Japan for those 9years.

However he eventually relocated to the US with his family. Fast forward today, his first son out of his 3 children is extremely polite to a fault (the sort of polite that is borderline shy) ... you want to know why?? The Japanese culture and environment played a role in shaping his behaviour.

#Note: A child's first background really matters in forming his default character.(especially during formative years).

Mheeeen Libya ke.. na die be that

Lostchild:
I just watched a documentary on BBC earth about Denmark and I was so amaze because Denmark is beyond what I thought. I always fancy Scandinavian countries but never have I thought Denmark is more than what I had imagine. In Denmark, nobody wants to buy faily used cars because the country is so rich, everyone has more money than they can spend. There is lot of food, meat to eat, lot of energy, clean air and much more than I thought. In the past I always thought that I can only feel at home only in US and Canada, but I was wrong.

Even the documentry presenter is a British born and he was so amazed on what he saw in Denmark. And the good thing about Denmark is that everyone can understand or speak english

I dont fancy UK and Australia weather seem dry and hot for my liking

Men, I will feel @ home in a country like denmark

I will disagree with you regarding language and integration based on the fact that I can give you first person insights about Denmark;

1- The Language issue remains a real Barrier regardless of the fact "most" Danish people can speak English as well as Norwegian, Swedish and German... the fact that Danish people can accommodate other languages like English, does not mean the Danish system is built for English or is an English speaking system for example, what do you do at places like The ATM or Train station or other public service areas, do you negotiate with the machines or automated systems to speak English?? Nope ... Danish is the National language, so expect it from all public service systems.

2- Denmark is a nice place but I always refer to the country as a Homogeneous bunch I.e The people get automatically racist to foreigners if a foreign culture is exhibited e.g if you speak another language that is strange to what they know, (heaven helps you if it sounds like Arabic- Hausa for instance), you will get the typical Cold shoulder. Those that have experienced this, know what I am talking about.

3. Except you are a tourist, you will experience Denmarks classic systemic Racism if you are a black guy trying to blend in. Try to understand something, a white foreigner and a black foreigner in Denmark are two different variables. So never compare yourself as a Nigerian in Denmark to a Polish or Russian in Denmark... that ability to "physically" blend in the crowd is actually everything.

4. Constantly speaking English to Danes on a long term, Irks them out at some point... bottom line learn the language. (Once again, language matters).

5. They are a very quiet bunch, if you are loud, dramatic and overquirky (like most Nigerians are) although some may find you amusing but it is a behaviour that is considered Alien in Denmark... rule no 1; in Denmark, don't be tagged Alien- They don't like "Alien".

6. Their citizenship or permanent residency is one of the hardest (if not the hardest) to acquire in Europe... ask anyone who knows...

7. Denmark remains a beautiful place but just as much as there are the upsides, there are lots of downsides.

My final remark, which is a rhetorical question... Which would you rather prefer; be treated with bias in a system where you do not understand the spoken language and can 't associate with the culture or being treated with bias in a system where you understand the language and can associate with the culture... ?

So SARS were putting control measures in Sambisa right?

SARS were also controlling the worsening nomadic tendencies of the herdsmen right?

I bet SARS were also watching Nigerian borders and regulated the influx of nomadic herdsmen from neighbouring countries right ...

I reckon SARS were also balancing the economy by boosting the currency strength and maintaining a low poverty index...

Wow I didn't know...

Oh Lawwwd... here we go again

I have legally registered associates in Canada who can grant me work permits due to ongoing projects but the issue is that Canada is on lockdown and I am tired of being here.

About Caribbean locations, can you please specify an example of where? I no not care about spousal arrangement to get citizenship as long as I leave this hellhole called Nigeria.

Maybe Bahamas or Trinidad and Tobago... research on establishing a Business that can be profitable to their region then after your model is setup, contact their ministry of Trade and if it is approved you could apply for a Business or investor visa...

Depressed101:
in western countries business taxes are lesser than work taxes especially if you are employing people
And also he said he doesn't mind taking the work visa route

I am referring to the business financial model he submits that enables him picking up the entrepreneurship visa, since he stated he wantsto do his own business... on paper, the viability of the business needs to be demonstrated for at least a calendar year, so a feasibility report of the business must reflect that fiscal simulation (including taxes) with a buffer in the case of a risk...
for example this is what new Zealand requires for entrepreneurship visa applications;

https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/entrepreneur-work-visa

As far as applications for entrepreneurship visa's are concerned such instances must be adequately demonstrated on Paper sir. And I just don't see 45k usd getting that job done, except there is a government intervention from the country...

Dadaboy:
Good day Nairalanders..

I am in dire need of support from people who have travel experience.
When I say travel experience, I mean people who has relocated from Nigeria completely.

I will be 30 next month, single (have always hated the idea of marrying any lady in Nigeria because I have been unlucky with most of them i met as they seem complicated, inconsequential, dishonest and inexposed).

To make this short, I spent a lot of my youth working so hard to save enough money with the mindset to relocate from Nigeria as Nigeria depresses me alot.

I have been able to save nearly 20 million naira, excluding investments running in millions i wish to put on cargo to ship wherever I wish to relocate to.

Now, my problem is finding a suitable location or environment where i can relocate to without stress and problems.

Note that, I do not intend to work for anyone as I have my own skills.

United States, United Kingdom are out of my plans as I have realised their system are not built to favour me or my type of person and seem more like stress and a slavery environment to me.

I applied for Canada visa with hope to get work permit but has been on hold for months as they have been on lockdown since.

Having lived in South Africa before for a short while and felt like home there, I had it as an option but I am at crossroads, if I can have better suggestions from experienced people here.

Also, if anywhere in Europe is advisable (remember I do not wish to work for anyone except part time, in my field or if must require me to get a work visa)

Please I need advice.

To be honest, you are putting yourself in a limited box, with your requested conditions.

Firstly not wanting to work for anyone... who or what entity will support your residency paperwise?


Secondly Entrepreneurship Taxes... bro let's be real here, 20 Million is not even up to 50,000 USD so what 100% profitable venture can you set up as an entrepreneur, let's say in Canada that's going to give you a consistent flow to match up to the taxes without you running at a loss within the first year?

Which Brings me to the third point; Entrepreneurship/investment visa... the minimum amount required for most visas of this category is usually 150k usd or more depending on the country, and you are well below that threshold assuming you want to go indy, so your options are quite limited.

You seem limited to Caribbean zones or South American zones, scratch off some profitable Asian zones and English speaking zones.

For Europe the dynamics are very different, you just need to have a base in either a supporting employer, a spouse or an educational institution otherwise, Nada...

Either ways rethink your strategy, the specifics you stated are very limiting. I think relocation requests a great deal of flexibility from the individual, because things most definitely do not go as envisaged in such situations.

I seriously do not believe this story, and I will explain why...

The average size in length of a male cow's (bull) reproductive Organ is about 2 and a half feet which is about 30 inches...
so a female cows reproductive physiology can handle that intensity properly.

Now the biggest Organ officially recorded on a man is about 12 inches basically about a foot, and we all know that is a freak size, as the average is 6 inches which is barely 1/4 the size of what a cow is built to handle, so with this analogy, I can infer that the cow was killed by some other way not by mere coital penetrative... perhaps a freak experiment.

If only she could represent Turkey ...

They have finally wrecked Nigeria

So this means the Nigerian Naira and CFA Franc are almost at the same value...

Naijagram:
Anyway, let's just say I met someone really nice while transiting on a long journey. We talked for hours. It seem like we have known each other for years. I really wanted to get to know the person more. I didn't even ask for the person's name or even phone number.

I regret not asking for her number.

Have you been in similar situation before?
Let me have your thoughts.

Yes oooo...
Several times bros.
Infact I am used to it

luminouz:
Damn. Some will pray for that kinda monetary settlement but not the hardship involved.

You can say that again... 31 years! Pheeewww...
Talk about lost youth.

Oga leave this thing there, you don't know what you are talking about...

Many 12yr olds in Europe nearly have the complete physical attributes of grownups. Infact these days we do not use physical features to determine if an individual is a minor or an adult... do you have any idea how many liquor shops have sold alcohol to 12- 13 year olds because they thought they were adults? ?? ?

For your information these days kids as young as 9 years old hit puberty especially due to advanced nutrition and medical intervention. Unlike in the 80's and 90's where puberty happened much later during teen years.

https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/growth-13-to-18.html

I personally know 12yr old girls who have the physical stature and attributes of Mercy Johnson and 13/14yr old boys who have the physicality of Lukaku FYI when Lukaku was 13 yrs old he was already a tank standing at 6ft tall

https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/5199812.six-footer-femi-aged-12-is-star-of-national-league-meeting/

And it is very, very common to have overgrown kids these days especially in Europe or North America.

There is a new age group that has been created now (Tweens) and why is this the case? this is due to the societal impact of many overgrown children these days.
https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1809-58442014000200177&script=sci_arttext&tlng=en

So If one is not well versed with society, it is also very easy to mistakenly hit on a minor.

So if your argument is; 12yr old kids physically look like Children these days, then your argument is indeed very weak.

@mmsen; Once again this was my rebuttal. If you can't give adequate facts to support your argument on this current societal topic, then leave it there.

This is actually a PhD research area for your information.

mmsen:
There is no intellectual argument for you being a pederast.

You're just a sick man with no self control.

If that conclusion is coming from your school of thought, Then it actually doesn't matter

Your failure to either understand facts from a societal case study that was adequately presented or present a strong counter argument with facts, justifies the fact that you are intellectually immature.

Go and learn how to read and think critically so you can do well in intellectual discussions...

mmsen:
I read all the garbage that you wrote.

You are sadly very typical of Nigerian men, no control of your libido. No self respect.

For you to arrive at this conclusion, I am questioning your ability to read and think critically.

I said it before and I will say it again your argument is very weak. Why, because you could not simply back up an intellectual argument with objective facts.

You fall into the category of individuals that I will advise to develop critical thinking skills, it will help you ask the right questions and arrive at sound, well balanced and independent conclusions.

mmsen:
What you described are fat 12 year olds. They do not look like women at all. Never once have I seen a 12 year-old child who looked like a grown woman, anywhere in the world.

But keep deceiving yourself, the authorities there will soon deal with you.

From this response I can easily tell three things

1. You did not carefully read my initial rebuttal

2. You did not read the references I based my objective statements on

3. And lastly, Your argument is still very weak

Please sir read well and come up with a stronger argument with supporting references, until then, you are making plain subjective statements which I consider quite unenlightened.
